RandomK(e) from Beijing is celebrating their fifth anniversary this Saturday at 2Kolegas. M.E. Seeley here expounds on why we should listen to RamdomK(e), if you still haven’t done it. And, if you are in Beijing, then we’re jealous for that gig.
We are happy to tell you Mr. M.E. Seeley is back in town, and back on Layabozi. This is his “back in the game” piece about two sweet bands that rocked YuYinTang on Christmas day: Yu Guo and Cigarette Butts. Read about them, while listening to their music…

Arrows Made of Desire is releasing their new album this next days, on May 29th. Layabozi got a preview of it, and a great interview with Joewi Verhoeven leader, singer and songwriter of AMoD. Read here about their music, the new album Songs that Sell Out, and listen in advance to two of their new songs.
1. The first tune you loved I used to be a huge Doors fan—had Morrison’s books of poetry, read a couple of biographies, had all of the albums—and I loved that song “Cars Hiss By The Window.” It took me a while before I gave up thinking I was the reincarnation of Jim Morrison himself [...]
Miyadudu’s latest album is a stroll along the sunlit path strewn with kittens, fallen stars, and specters of lost love, an aural representation of these past eight years of LinDi’s life.
Helen Feng spills the beans with only a little coaxing.
The attitude of rock
Bold, brash, in your face rock.
